    I want to do a technical analysis of this piece.
    It's very rare to find musicians using silence as an instrument. In this piece, you can feel the silence. Silence is used to create a feeling of fear in the initial part of the song (till Cajon solo). A feeling of uncertainty. Coupled with the reverb on Arooj's mic its gives a feel as if the lover is sitting alone in a room (any closed space, space closed in their minds) and crying for their love.
    The Cajon creeps into the piece to signify the growing internal struggles of the lover. These emotions are complex and build up slowly. The same hit a crescendo when the Cajon moves to the solo part. The solo signifies the stage of turmoil. These intense internal struggles lead to a stage of despair.
    Silence is again important to create despair - as Arooj explains that the lover can't even send their love a message. The silence is haunting now.
    You just don't need mature musicians or storytellers to do this. You need intellectuals. Arooj - You are a living legend :)

      I feel the silence is making this music closed to meditation. I can sit in nature and the music combines with the natural rhythm of life, with nature itself

    The rain stopped here an hour ago..
    I completed a focused session of word editing, and opened up for a song to break my vision..
    by the blessing of the passing rain gods, this arrived on my screen,
    and my eyes have been raining ever since..

    I took the night off. I was playing a game. I took a break. On the news I saw she won a Grammy. They said she may have created a new genre. I knew I had to hear this. I am 2 songs in, spellbound and enchanted. I will listen to more.

    The universe has time and again been forcing me to stop. Stand still. Feel. This makes me do everything all at once. God bless you. I wonder how lovers felt when one counterpart travelled to the unknown, with no modern day channels of communication. How do lovers part when death takes one of them. I wonder how it feels to let yourself go to the deeper realms of life. Darker. Inescapable.
    The depth of your voice takes me there. Beautiful.
